Pokey Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm doing an Ozarks trip too, but at the end of June. I have a friend who lives in Hot Springs Arkansas and that will be my homebase for most the trip, I will also be doing some camping as well "have no idea where I will end up".

I love the shit, Roasted Red Pepper and the Black Bean w/jalapeno are may faves. I just dip carrot or celery in it, fiber and protein in one healthy snack.

Save some middle tire wear. Let me know if either of you bubbys wants to share a ride down. I have a trailer and got my suburban back. If it's just 2 of us, we can pull a smaller trailer with the Lezbaru. Or if there's anyone else who doesn't have time to do a two day trip down and a two day trip back and doesn't want to wear their ass out on the freeway, speak up now. I can haul 4 Sport bikes comfortably and five if necessary. Edited January 6, 2017 by max power 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking the Atwood Loop to New Phili-ish where I'll pick up OH-800 and ride it to the river. Cross in WV and pick up WV-16 and take that all the way to Marion, stopping just before at Hungry Mother State Park and camping for the night. Then get up and take WV/NC-16 to the BRP and roll that all the way to Cherokee and take NC441 to NC321 and pick up the Foothills Parkway. You know the rest. Day 1 will be 450 miles. Easy enough to do and I'll be rolling a steady pace of "Balls Out" all day. Day 2 will be a little lighter at 370 miles. It will be a bit more difficult to maintain a hot pace on the BRP, but an early start should bring me into Fontana by 5:00. Right around 815 miles. Sounds like an awesome route. Hungry Mother State Park is a very nice area and has a cool beach on the lake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck man, If I end up doing what I do, but also don't want to do in the next couple months (but actually really really really want to), I may do something similar. I have yet to ride the BRP even though I've ridden over it at least 4 times and 16 is an amazing road from north WV all the way to the end.

As you get near Gatlinburg but still in the park....Just before the park head quarters... Turn left on Fighting Creek Road, its awesome. Then pick up 321 near Townsend. And when you get to Foothills Pkwy you can go right now.....New section not even on Google Maps yet. I think it goes back to 321 north of Pidgeon Forge. Pics of it look epic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set up camp on a Tuesday, ride 16 and explore the area all day on Wednesday and then get to Fontana on Thursday. If you do this, try to ride over to Burkes Garden. It's a great place to sit back and admire the mountains and it has amazing roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
